Oct 11, 2013 at 9:34 comment added SekaiCode I am just curious how the orientation of the load as well as the motor affect the application. Of course i can place the motor horizontally and use the gear and shaft(convert the motion direction and adjust torue:speed) to do the same thing, but this is not what i want to know.
Oct 11, 2013 at 9:30 comment added SekaiCode sorry for late reply, i know how the stall toque and the continuous toque affect the selection of motor. 1 RPM is just an arbitrarily number. What i want to know is the calculation of the toque(stall and continuous).My physics is very bad, i don't know how to calculate toque in this kind of vertical setup. All information i found on the web always lead me to the torque calculation for motor driving wheels(which is simply the tangential force multiply the moment arm). Thank you.
Oct 9, 2013 at 20:59 comment added TimWescott To complicate things further, the faster you want to spin it up (or down), the more torque you need. You also need to choose between direct drive (which is hugely inefficient for 1RPM) or some sort of gear- or belt drive, which requires more mechanical 'stuff'.
Oct 7, 2013 at 21:41 comment added Aerophilic SekaiCode, I think to get a good answer for you, You'll need to provide more information. The reality is that if you mount a motor w/ the disc as you describe, at "rest" there would be no torque required by the motor at all to keep it "in place". However, if you want to know how much torque would be necessary to "spin it up" and keep it going... that is a much more complicated answer. In short though, to get it "started" you would need a motor strong enough to get over the initial inertia + friction. To have it "keep going" you would need to overcome friction. What are you looking for?
Oct 7, 2013 at 18:45 comment added Ian Are you asking about the force of gravity on the motor's bearings?
